Gilbert Debs & Claudia Chahine

Founded by Gilbert Debs and Claudia Chahine, Opus Magnum Studio is distinguished by its rigorous investigation of matter, its seamless integration of craft and design, and its commitment to bespoke production. Operating from their Beirut workshop, the two founders conceive, engineer and hand-cast each piece themselves, controlling every stage from material formulation to finishing, and thus creating works that transcend the boundaries between furniture, sculpture and architecture. Gilbert brings over three decades of R&D experience: his signature innovation lies in combining disparate materials—metals, mineral aggregates, resins, glass and wood—so that each retains its inherent nature while giving rise to unexpected textures, patinas and structures. Through her background in interior design, Claudia translates these material explorations into forms and narratives: her design language is rooted in archaeology, place, heritage and nature. Their output spans monumental installations, custom furniture editions and highly curated surface systems for luxury interiors. Their works illustrate their commitment to ecological, social awareness, material truth and handcrafted singularity. With over two decades of commissions for international designers, architects and collectors, Opus Magnum Studio remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what raw matter can become.

At its heart, Freedom Recalled asks: Do we bear a responsibility to remember — and if so, how? What silences do we choose to uphold, and what price must truth exact in return? And ultimately, how might the pursuit of justice become a catalyst for personal healing and national renewal? Explore
